Dear cybernet.be customer,
you are my number one: my first visitor who tried to log into my Movable Type installation. It is surprising that no one tried earlier. The path isn't very hard to guess, and each week there are dozends attempts to break through my Client Extranet login page. Still, for MT, you are the first. But look what you did:
2003.02.25 09:30:11 - 213.177.68.xxx - Invalid author name 'Shirish M Kamdar' in password recovery attempt
2003.02.25 09:30:34 - 213.177.68.xxx - Invalid author name 'Shirish Kamdar' in password recovery attempt
2003.02.25 09:30:52 - 213.177.68.xxx - Invalid login attempt from user 'Shirish M Kamdar'
2003.02.25 09:31:57 - 213.177.68.xxx - Invalid author name 'Kamdar Shirish' in password recovery attempt
2003.02.25 09:32:26 - 213.177.68.xxx - Invalid login attempt from user 'S M Kamdar'
2003.02.25 09:33:14 - 213.177.68.xxx - Invalid author name 'SHIRISH KAMDAR' in password recovery attempt
2003.02.25 09:33:36 - 213.177.68.xxx - Invalid login attempt from user 'SHIRISH KAMDAR'
2003.02.25 09:34:00 - 213.177.68.xxx - Invalid login attempt from user 'SHIRISH KAMDAR'
Your lack of creativity is disappointing. Next time, try harder.
Sincerly,
Haiko Hebig
Note to Movable Type users
Keep in mind that MT comes with mt_check.cgi, a script that checks your server and reports if the machine meets all requirements to install MT. But as finding the path to the file normally isn't very hard, it might also tell others more about your server than you might like. In this case, just delete is: once your MT installation is up and running, you don't need mt_check.cgi any more.
